Kevin De Bruyne is a doubt for Belgium's World Cup Qualifier against Greece on Saturday after injuring his groin in training.

Roberto Martinez's side are already without Chelsea star Eden Hazard and defender Thomas Meunier for the key Group H clash which will see first-placed Belgium hosting second-placed Greece, live on Sky Sports 2 HD.

Hazard pulled out on Monday with a calf problem, while an ankle injury has ruled out Paris St Germain's Meunier.

Though Martinez indicated the injury is "not serious", he admitted it would be a blow to be without De Bruyne.

"We will wait until the very last second to decide. Kevin is a vital player," Martinez told the press.
